Album: This Place Will Be Your Tomb Song: Chokehold

I have seen similar projects in other subs (shoutout r/AlterBridge), and thought this would be an excellent community for something similar. I plan on posting a new song every weekday as we go sequentially from One through Even In Arcadia.

I’ll track the averages and include the previous day’s final score in each new post. Album averages will be revealed once each album is complete.

And like that, we’re finished with This Place Will Be Your Tomb and on to Take Me Back To Eden!

⸻

Rating Scale (1–5)

1 – Skip I almost always skip this.

2 – Mood Dependent I enjoy it sometimes, but I need to be in the right headspace.

3 – Strong Track A great song, just not top-tier for me.

4 – Favorite Sleep Token Song One of my favorites from the band.

5 – All-Time Song One of my favorite songs, period. By any artist.

Decimals are allowed (e.g., 3.5) if you genuinely feel it lands between tiers.

Right at the end of Damocles there's a small piano section and it's reminding me of something I've heard before. When I've searched online I see it compared to earlier Sleep Token songs, but this isn't it. I think it sounds like it might match a piano section from a song on an anime soundtrack, possibly by the artist Lia. I think it might be from the anime Angel Beats! or Clannad/Clannad After Story, both of which feature the themes of love, loss and self discovery. I just can't put my finger on it, and whether I'm simply imagining it, or whether I really have heard it somewhere before.

Some of their songs feature inspiration from video games and when I saw them at Download last year, they even played a song from the Halo 2 soundtrack as the intro to Rain, so I could see some songs also being inspired by anime. But am I just imagining it?
